I personally love the BX Slider you can literally do anything with it. Horizontal/vertical scrolling, easing, use anything for the navigation be it next previous arrows, individual text or image links, navigation div can be put anywhere. And it’s totally simple and valid. Have used Nivo Slider and coda slider a few times. Nivo not so good, can be a pain to setup properly.
